Is there only one Easter Bunny? Apparently not, as this 1939 tale would have it: there are five, and only the kindest, wisest, and swiftest rabbits in the world can hope to be chosen for this honor by Grandfather Rabbit. Ever since she was a little brown rabbit in a humble country dress, Cottontail dreamed of being an Easter Bunny, even though other rabbits laughed at her ambitions—and even after she became a mother to 21 babies. But Cottontail was not only kind, wise, and swift, she was also clever and brave, and one day she gets a chance to prove herself—and to learn the secret of a pair of gold shoes. This book for youngsters 3 to 7 includes the original Easter egg–colored drawings and a little metal shoe charm on a chain.
